Marjorie Lee Myers' Obituary
Marjorie Lee Myers, 81, went home to be with the Lord on Nov. 16, 2022. She was born on Dec. 7, 1940 in Tacoma, WA to John D. Miller and Emma L. Miller (Saunders). She attended Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, MD. She graduated in 1962 from the University of Maryland with a B.A. in English and Journalism.
Margie married her Prince Charming, William M. Myers Jr. on July 28, 1962. They lived in Alexandria VA, Waldorf MD, and California MD, where they attended Hollywood United Methodist Church. Margie worked for the Department of Justice until she decided to be a homemaker and raise her three daughters: Vicky, Wendy, and Jody. Wendy had a developmental learning disability. When Wendy died unexpectedly in April 2012, it broke her heart. Margie wrote that she misses her but knows that “Wendy is looking down from above with God and the angels.”
Margie was attentive to her family’s needs and actively volunteered at Special Olympics, local schools, and church. She wrote a column for a local newspaper and enjoyed reading, crocheting and writing cards and letters to friends and family.
Margie passed away at St Mary’s Nursing Center in Leonardtown, MD, where she has resided for the last eight years. The family would like to thank all the staff for their care and kindness, especially through the difficulty of Covid-19.
Margie is survived by her husband, William M. Myers Jr.; daughters, Vicky Silke and son-in-law John Silke of Dixmont ME, Jody Bradford of Brandywine, MD; brother Dean R. Miller and sister-in-law Janet of Terra Haute, IN; grandchildren Kara Kelley-Portillo and her husband Alex, Kristina Phang and her husband Andrew, Emily Bradford, Autumn Silke and Angela Silke; and great-grandchild Maria Michele Kelley-Portillo; nephew Keith Miller and niece Ruth-Lynn Marsh.
In addition to her parents, Margie was preceded in death by her daughter Wendy Myers, and son in law John Bradford, Jr.
In memory of Margie, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or Parkinson’s Foundation. There will be a private family service held at a later date.
